CALL FOR PAPERS

Paper submission is now closed.

The conference series ICISS (International Conference on Information
Systems Security), held annually, provides a forum for disseminating
the latest research results in information and systems security. The
acceptance ratio of the first four conferences has averaged less than
30%, and the proceedings have been published as part of the Springer
Verlag series of Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The ICISS 2009
encourages submissions addressing theoretical and practical problems in information and
systems security and related areas. We especially like to encourage
papers in domains that have not been represented much in the past at the conference,
such as database security/privacy, usability aspects of security, operating
systems security, and sensor networks security. Papers that introduce and address
unique security challenges or present thought-provoking ideas are also welcome.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

Manuscript Submission: 15 July 2009, 11:59 PM, Eastern Daylight Time (U.S.).
A submitted paper can be revised and uploaded to the web site till Monday,
20th July, 2009, 11:59 PM Eastern Daylight Time.
All submissions by July 15th must include the title and abstract, since we
use that information to assign the paper for review. (Paper submission is now closed).

Notification of Acceptance: 05th Sep 2009. Authors have been notified.

Papers should be formatted as they would appear in the

paper must attend the conference to present the paper. Conference papers
will be presented between Dec. 16th and 18th, 2009. ICISS accepts

Poster/Demo Session

There will be a poster/demo session for researchers to
